Repo Men Reviews
Should you see it, for most of the movie you’ll be thinking about its influences more than the movie itself. And when it’s all over, it feels like nearly two hours of missed opportunities.

Repo Men transplants an Antifrog of complete corporal rejection. [Full review in Spanish

Standard mindless stuff then, which is shame - the set-up promised more. For a film all about a heart, it's shame it doesn't have any brain.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 19, 2021
Although the idea is thought-provoking, the film tries too hard to be singular and different, resulting in a moderately fun yet cheesy experiment in the unexpected.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Very nearly works.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020
At a time where a real health care drama is being played out on a grand scale right before our eyes, Repo Men seems tritely anemic.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 7, 2019
Schreiber's surprising performance leaves the viewer wondering whether Repo Men wouldn't have made a much more successful film had it been a comedy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2018
Straining to be a social problem movie that Makes A Statement. Unfortunately that statement is so simplified that it feels almost insulting.

It easily takes home the Josef Mengele award as the vilest movie in recent memory.

Although it's an interesting premise, its lack of originality gives away where much of the film is going to go, that is, right up until you get to the unexpectedly bad ending.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 1, 2012
I've seen a lot of this dystopian future in science fiction... so much so that it's become cliche.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 31, 2012
Sapochnik, Law, Whitaker, and Schreiber have so much fun with all the extremes, wallowing in their shameless excess with the right dollop of macabre, self-aware humor.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 8, 2012
Enthusiastic stealing from other movies is great if I can feel the enthusiasm. I couldn't.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011
Sapochnik is completely unable to create suspension of disbelief, at least with the preposterous plot he had to work with.
| Jan 31, 2011
This was too long, mean, and gory for me, though the satirical gloss and well-executed trick ending will probably impress some.

'You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a handbag. You wouldn't steal a movie...' Well, hang on now. Those anti-piracy warnings shouldn't simply be reserved for the download-happy consumers at home.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 21, 2010
Repo Men never quite finds its own identity, abandoning any attempt at serious comment early on in favour of ludicrous levels of lopped limbs, cartilage and claret.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2010
If only Sapochnik and Garcia had stuck more to their ideas than their guns, they'd really have something.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 3, 2010
Better and smarter than you might expect.

If you like strange, dark humor and can sit through a lot of boredom to get there, you might like it about as middling as I do. Most people won't be able to put up with it that long, though.
